Abstract
Prerenai, renal and postrenal forms of acute renal failure (ARF) are distinguishable. Prerenai forms are reversible by effective treatment of the underlying extrarenai disorder(s). Damage of the endothelium and the tubular epithelium indicates progress of prerenai to renal ARF or induction of primary renal ARF. A continuous survey of renal function based on the cellular and functional pathophysiologic pathways of ARF allows adequate and specific therapy. As both extra- and intrarenal causes of ARF may occur simultaneously under clinical conditions, a broad therapeutic approach should be used: treatment of the extrarenai disorder augmented by measures to reduce the cellular workload, cell-protective therapy, support of microcirculation rheology, and inhibition of prerenai vasoconstriction.
